Celebrating a new milestone with ELEMIS

We are so thrilled to announce that our dedicated corporate partner ELEMIS has taken their support to the next level by becoming a patron. This will help us to continue our work towards creating impact for the 6,500 charitable organisations we support across the UK.
ELEMIS are skin wellness experts, committed to healthy skin and body, whilst reducing their impact on the planet. They are focused on protecting and restoring biodiversity making a more positive impact on climate and empowering their people and communities.
ELEMIS became a corporate partner of ours in March 2023, having shared a joint vision that everyone deserves access to life’s essentials and ensuring that no usable product goes to waste.
In just over a year and a half of partnership, together we have already supported over 1400 charitable organisations with skincare, body and hair care products. We can’t wait to see the impact we continue to make together.
We’re proud and delighted to celebrate the patronage, as they continue to support our mission to ensure communities across the UK are keeping clean and well. This partnership also funds vital research, driving systemic change to end hygiene poverty and creating a lasting impact in the communities we serve.
Thank you ELEMIS for your support.

– Supporting People In Need

ELEMIS has partnered with In Kind Direct since 2023, supporting their mission of ensuring everyone has access to products they need to keep clean, safe and well. With wellbeing core to our values, we regularly donate essentials such as shampoo and shower creams, through to those special little extras, of skincare and aromatherapeutic candles. As wellbeing levels continue to decline in the UK, now more than ever we must support each other. Through In Kind Direct’s incredible work, we have reached thousands of people already and hope our contribution helps ease hygiene pressures and delivers a moment of self-care.”
